Moving on to Middle School

Posted by Kerry

Three weeks ago my 11-year old daughter, Emma, graduated from elementary school. As I sat in the school auditorium, I didn’t expect to feel the flood of emotions to come rushing in. At the end of the program, the principal called each student up to receive their certificate. As Emma walked across the stage wearing [...]

Life and Death

Posted by Emily

Tuesday night I was curled up on the sofa having gotten sucked into the evil vortex of Dance Moms when Dave came home from his beer dinner.  I should have been packing for our imminent trip to Rhode Island to celebrate my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary but somehow I had not moved – and had [...]

Sink or Swim

Posted by Jessie

Ahhh, summer.  The season of lightening bugs, flip flops, and BBQs. And swimming lessons. Emma is not a huge fan of the water – or at least, being SUBMERGED in water.  Or having water touch her hair.  Or, God forbid, going anywhere near her eyes or nose. I cried the first time I gave her [...]

Father’s Day Cards We’d Like to See

Posted by Emily

I usually carve out at least 30 minutes to buy greeting cards for people who matter to me.  I truly delight in finding the perfect card for family members and friends and such a commitment takes a creepy amount of time.   This Father’s Day was no exception – except my selection took way longer than [...]

Little House on the Prairie: Still Crazy After All These Years

Posted by Jessie

I recently stumbled upon a Little House on the Prairie marathon on the Hallmark Channel, and was immediately sucked into the Walnut Grove vortex. Little House was the only show my sister and I were allowed to watch until about age 13.  Many programs were off limits based on the title alone:  My Two Dads [...]

Gut Check

Posted by Emily

Last year we switched swim clubs.  We left behind a perfectly lovely facility where most of our friends spent their summer afternoons to travel across town to a new club where we know virtually no one. And while our new swim club has a more robust snack bar (according to me) and a much better [...]

Mathphobes…and the People Who Love (to Make Fun of) Them

Posted by Jessie

At the Phillies game last week, my brother in law told me about this video and I immediately went home and Googled it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qhm7-LEBznk) So obviously this video sets this girl up for a boatload of ridicule, and if we are to judge her intelligence based solely on these infamous 5 minutes, we may assume [...]

Mother of the Groom

Posted by Emily

I have seen my future and in it I am wearing beige. It is always a bit disconcerting when you discover that the stereotypes which you have dismissed as pure folklore are rooted in actual truth.  This was the case this past weekend when Noah attended his first official school dance with a date.  In [...]
